Those stats are incorrect, Rich. Those are "opponents" defensive stats...so how many turnovers/sacks were given up by Miami's offense, not created by their defense. They were tied for 25th with 6 recovered fumbles. They were 27th in interceptions also, but were 7th in sacks.

Miami was 29th in the NFL in creating turnovers.

The Patriots were 2nd in the NFL in creating turnovers. Atlanta was 5th.Surprisingly Baltimore and SF were much lower, tied for 15th.

Offense wins championships, but defensively you have to be more than just "solid."...It's about creating big plays.

You're right, ESPN's stat section sucks.

Still, from a pass rush perspective we're right up there.

What we need is a playmaker in the secondary. Our defense is not that far. It could use a considerable amount of help from our offense. A team like NE is high up in creating turnovers because teams have to go pass happy to compete with them since they score so much on offense.

Totally agree! that's why this draft and FA needs to be offense heavy....I actually don't think we need to break the bank in FA either, Wallace should be our most exspensive pickup. I also think we need to get either Cook (Tenn) or Bennett (NYG) along with a solid Guard or Tackle in FA....whichever one we don't get in FA we find in the draft.

We are one of the worst scoring and passing teams in the League, we are 17th in rushing. There is no offense, its soft. Sorry but as far as I am concerned if they do not address that this off season hard and heavy we will find ourselves in similar situations next year.

People saying get better defense.. Our offense avg 18 points per game.. YUCK... Our defense allowed 19.. WOW... So if our offense was just a little better, those two stats tell me we win more games.

I mean we have 5 picks between 12 - 82. Should be able to add play makers to both sides really. WR, OT/G DE/T, DB (not in any order) and still have a pick left....
